TONIGHT -- THE PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSED THE PROPOSAL. WMUR'S MIKE CRONIN REPORTS TONIGHT FROM RANDOLPH. THE IDEA WAS WELL RECEIVED AT TONIGHT'S MEETING TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE OPEN FROM SPRING THROUGH FALL AND BE A RESPECTFUL TRIBUTE TO THE LIVES LOST. SINCE THE TRAGIC CRASH IN JUNE... PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STOPPING BY THE MEMORIAL TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS. BUT BEING RIGHT ON THE SIDE OF ROUTE 2... SAFETY IS A CONCERN. (SHOW POST COMMANDER HOLDING UP POSTER) NOW... THE TOWN OF RANDOLPH PLANS TO BUILD A PERMANENT MEMORIAL TO THE SEVEN MOTORCYCLISTS KILLED WHEN A TRUCK COLLIDED WITH THEM. <(CLIP 1181, 41:13-41:19) MICHAEL MURPHY / COMMANDER, POST 82 WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING FOR THEM, SOMETHING RIGHT, NOT A BIG TO DO. SOMETHING TO HONOR THEM.> MICHAEL MURPHY IS THE COMMANDER OF THE GORHAM AMERICAN LEGION POST... WHICH IS WHERE THE MEMBERS OF THE JARHEADS MOTORCYCLE CLUB WERE HEADING WHEN THEY WERE KILLED. THE LEGION IS PROPOSING 'THE FALLEN 7 MEMORIAL'... MADE OF GRANITE, WITH BENCHES AND PARKING... IN AN AREA BEHIND WHERE THE CRASH HAPPENED... AWAY FROM TRAFFIC. <(CLIP 1178, 11:35-11:45) JOHN SCARINZA / PLANNING BOARD CHAIRMAN ON ANNIVERSARIES OF THE ACCIDENT, IT MIGHT BE BUSY OUT THERE AND WE WILL WORK THROUGH MAKING THAT HAPPEN.> THE PROJECT COSTS 12 THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THANKS TO DONATIONS... THE LEGION IS ONLY ABOUT 700 DOLLARS SHORT OF THAT GOAL. <(CLIP 1181, 42:07-42:11) MICHAEL MURPHY / COMMANDER, POST 82 EVERYBODY STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND WE PRETTY MUCH GOT ALL WE NEEDED.> THE HOPE IS TO HAVE THE MEMORIAL BUILT IN THE SPRING, BEFORE THE CRASH ANNIVERSARY. AS FOR THE FLAGS AND CROSSES AT THE SITE NOW... MURPHY SAYS THEY WOULD BE TAKEN DOWN AND GIVEN TO THE VICTIMS' FAMILIES. <(CLIP 1181, 42:22-4:30) MICHAEL MURPHY / COMMANDER, POST 82 IT'S A MEMORIAL. IT'S HALLOWED GROUNDS. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A PLACE LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT IN HERE WHERE YOU GO AND HAVE A PICNIC OR A FUNCTION. IT'S NOT WHAT IT IS
